  • Ep 11, Star Wars Series: Forms

    Abby's first Star Wars pick is the freaky Reylo force shit we’ve been waiting for. Audrey is torn between love for Reylo and hatred for the sequel trilogy; we are delighted that this story is chock-full of badass women on both the Resistance and First Order sides; and we all marvel at Adam Driver’s glorious hair.

  • Ep 10, Star Wars Series: 'Til There Was You (And You)

    Kylie’s first pick is fluffy, fun Finn/Poe slash. The ladies are a bit salty because the tags promised a Rey/Finn/Poe threesome that never panned out. On the other hand, this story has a ton of hot slash and gives us the deets on birth control and lube in the First Order. On the other other hand, sadly this story suggests that Poe doesn’t stop talking like a t-ball coach, even when you’re going at it.

  • Ep 9, Star Wars Series: Rough Day

    Last time, Audrey invited Abby and Mira to slap her if they didn’t like Rough Day. Well NO SLAPS WERE DELIVERED because the ladies unanimously love this story’s take on Mando. We suggest the author changes her tag in AO3 from “Favreau forgive me” to “Favreau you’re welcome.” And we introduce a new friend to the group, Kylie! We might finally get some good slash up in here.

    Note: Just to explain references to it being 2020 or us having no idea what happens at the end of The Mandalorian Season 2—we recorded this episode in December 2020, trying to get ahead of Mira’s baby. We were unsuccessful.

  • Ep 7, Harry Potter Series: Love & Other Misfortunes

    In Abby’s latest pick, Draco is a magical creature who sprouts feathers when angry. Is "Big Bird Rage Mode" sexy? And is there any way we can evolve this into a threesome with Daddy Malfoy?

  • Ep 6, Harry Potter Series: Sense and Insensibility

    Audrey’s latest Snape/Hermione pick is by far the filthiest thing we have read for the show, and it is glorious.  We drink viscous drinks and are reminded that Abby hates balls. And although this is a Snape fic, Lucius Malfoy comes across pretty well in this story all things considered. Is Desert_Sea the ‘chosen one’ who will write the Snape/Malfoy slashfic that will please both Mira and Audrey?

  • Ep 5, Harry Potter Series: Epistolary Charms

    This week, Mira takes another (successful!) crack at selling us on a relationship between Hermione Granger and Lucius Malfoy. This week’s story also has the distinction of having the longest and most thorough Ron-bashing we’ve ever encountered. Let the hate flow through you!

    Drink Pairing:

    1. Run the cut edge of the lemon wedge around the rim of the glass and press the rim into superfine sugar, shaking off the excess 
  • Add the rum and triple sec to the sugar-rimmed glass and carefully ignite, slowly turning until the glass has warmed and the sugar has begun to caramelize. 
  • Add the coffee liqueur (the flame should go out at this point) and top with hot coffee. 
  • Garnish by gently floating the whipped cream on top using the back of a spoon, then adding grated nutmeg.

  • Ep 4, Harry Potter Series: Crazy Little Things

    Hermione and Luna go to wizard college in Abby’s first pick! This story presents an appealing fantasy of an inclusive wizarding world where Luna and Hermione become globe-trotting partners in work and love, and you can get takeout from literally anywhere in the world on demand. But all three of us are frustrated by the overall lack of smut. We filtered by explicit, dammit. Audrey is distracted by how fricking good the cocktail is this week, and explains to the expecting Mira the magic of “pump n dump.”

  • Ep 3, Harry Potter Series: Unforced Error

    Audrey’s first pick is an action-packed Snape and Hermione fic with magic, torture, cunning, true love, and a “sex barometer”. We talk about mind-Snapes: do you imagine a younger, scragglier book-like Snape when reading, or is the pull of Alan Rickman too strong? Abby goes “full Adam Driver” for her Snape but Mira sticks with Alan.

    Polyjuice potion, chocolate, and puns are eagerly abused in Mira’s especially-smutty first pick: a Lucius Malfoy/Hermione fic by the Artful Scribbler. Mira struggles to communicate with Audrey and Abby who are philistines and cannot appreciate her references to Much Ado About Nothing or You've Got Mail.
